Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine wheat bran, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and walnuts; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, brown sugar, egg substitute, applesauce, and molasses; stir with a spoon until well mixed. Add yogurt mixture to wheat bran mixture and stir with a spoon just until blended. Gently fold in the apple.

Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full with batter and bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops are golden and spring back when lightly touched.

Note:
Toasted wheat bran can be found just that way (already toasted) in the supermarket cereal aisle.
